The Tiger Lillies - Betray Me lyrics

So you betray the one who you need The one on whom you feed What is the profit of this? Malice, stupidity or cowardice Is it ego is it pride Overpowering you from the inside Anger, jealousy or greed The burning vice on which you feed Or is it really just a plan To save your soul from the damned Do you have mercy do you feel fine As you drown your soul In d** or wine And as you enter your decline Will memories cloud your mind Will you be clouded with regret Will you believe your course was set And as you take your dying breath Laugh or with grief be beset As you enter the ground And your mourners crowd around What memories of you they'll hold What stories of you will be told How long were you filled with happiness What fears and terrors did you vex? The sum of all these parts You die with full or broken heart When they remember you they laugh Regret remorse of what has pa**ed So you betray the one you need
